U.S. School Clothes: Turkey Creek School


Figure 1.-- The Turkey Creek School appears to have been a small, one-room school, althouh we do not have a photograph of the actual school building. A portrait of the children of different ages in 1913, however, suggests that the school was quite small. The school was located in Montgomery Country, Texas. We have one portrait from 1913. Many of the children wear hats, givung us a good idea of hat styles at the time. The boys wear knickers. Several of the younger children are barefoot.

A portrait of the children of different ages in 1913, however, suggests that the school was quite small. Rural schools like this genersally had children from 1st to 8th grade. That would be children from about 6-14 yearsof age. The school was located in Montgomery Country, Texas. We have one portrait taken March 14, 1913. Many of the children wear hats, giving us a good idea of hat styles at the time. Notice only one boy has a cap. The boys wear knickers and knee pants. Several of the younger children are barefoot. The teacher pictured with the children looks to have been very strict.
